Kuchedwa kwa pulogalamu yomanga ya American F-35 womenya, makamaka mtundu wake airborne - F-35C - zikutanthauza kuti F/A-18 Super Hornet womenya kupitiriza kukhala zida zazikulu mu zaka zikubwerazi. kwa ndege zankhondo zaku US Navy. Kwa wopanga - nkhawa ya Boeing - izi zikutanthauza kuti boma likulamula kuti ndege zina zamtundu uwu zisungidwe komanso kukonza njira yopangira yomwe imayenera kutseka zaka zingapo zapitazo. Kuphatikiza apo, Boeing ikulimbikitsa Pentagon kuti igwiritse ntchito phukusi latsopano la F/A-18 Super Hornet, losankhidwa Block III.
Mu 1999, F / A-18E / F Super Hornet omenyana anayamba kulowa utumiki ndi US Navy (US Navy), ndipo patatha zaka ziwiri analandira Koyamba Ntchito Mphamvu (IOC). Choyamba, iwo anayamba m'malo otopa kwambiri F-14 Tomcat ndi Hornets m'badwo woyamba - ndi F / A-18A / B. Ndiye F / A-18E / F anayamba kusintha m'badwo wachiwiri Hornets - F / A-18C / D, amene kupanga inatha mu 2000. Mapulani pa nthawiyo adafuna kuti ma F/A-18C/D aposachedwa kwambiri komanso ma F/A-18E/F otopa kwambiri alowe m’malo ndi omenyera nkhondo atsopano a 5th m’badwo wa F-35C. Kupanga "Super Hornets" kunayenera kuthetsedwa, makamaka popeza US Navy inayamba kugawa ndalama zambiri pa pulogalamu ya F-35 (JSF - Joint Strike Fighter).

Kubwerera ku 2014, akatswiri ambiri adaneneratu kuti US Navy F/A-18E/Fs yomaliza idzachoka ku Boeing mu Disembala 2016. Panthawiyi, Boeing adasungabe kupanga mayunitsi atatu pamwezi chifukwa cha zomwe ankhondo apamadzi azaka zapitazo ku United States, otchedwa. mgwirizano wazaka zambiri (MYP-III, kugula kwazaka zambiri) ndikuyitanitsa komaliza kuchokera ku FY2014.

Ulalo Wakusowa
Asitikali ankhondo aku US sanabise chinsinsi chakukayikira kwake zankhondo ya Lockheed Martin F-35C. F-35C yakhala yokwera mtengo kwambiri mwa ma F-35 atatu. Mu gawo la 9 la kupanga kwapakatikati (LRIP-9, Low-Rate Initial Production), mtengo wankhondo imodzi ya F-35C (yokhala ndi injini) inali madola 132,2 miliyoni a US pa unit. Pokhapokha pagawo lomaliza - LRIP-10 - mtengo udakhazikitsidwa pa 121,8 miliyoni, womwe ndi wocheperako pang'ono poyerekeza ndi matembenuzidwe amtundu wa F-35B okwera. Poyerekeza, malinga ndi kukula kwa dongosolo, latsopano F / A-18 ndalama pakati pa 80-90 miliyoni madola, ndi ntchito yake ndi pafupifupi theka la mtengo.
Pulogalamu yonse ya F-35 yachedwa kale ndi zaka zinayi. Ndege zankhondo za F-35 zidakali pansi pa chitukuko ndi ziwonetsero (SDD - System Development and Demonstration), zomwe ziyenera kumalizidwa mu May 2018. Zimatengera ndalama zowonjezera, ndikuwonjezera mtengo wa pulogalamu yotsika mtengo yophwanya mbiri. Komanso, mtundu ndege F-35C ali ndi mavuto osiyanasiyana luso. Pamene vuto la mbedza yokwerera, yomwe siinayambe kugunda mzere wonyezimira m'chonyamulira ndege, idathetsedwa, zidapezeka kuti mapiko ochepa olimba opindika amafunikira kukonzanso. Zinapezekanso kuti ponyamuka pa mphanga, zida zotsikira kutsogolo zimapanga kugwedezeka kwakukulu koyima ndikutumiza ku ndege yonse. Nkhanizi ziyenera kuthetsedwa F-35C isanayambe.
